Strong compositions, great playing, soulful vocals; this band has it all - and what slays me is they are SO young - all in their twenties. Get in on a good thing early, support vibrant young talent and get this killer CD.

I wish I had thought of something as cool as this and then had the musical ability to pull it off. This is top shelf: harmony, melody and emotion wrapped in a sound that is at once classic and also way ahead of its time. Great!, excellent!, superb!, fantastic!
